OAKLAND — Finally a feel-good story about five black men working together in unison and it has nothing to do with basketball. If you’re African-American, you’d probably be wise to become an aficionado of Pro Bowl quarterback Derek Carr and the Oakland Raiders. Why? Because Jack Del Rio’s boys are idiosyncratic in that they feature an all black offensive line — a unit that includes former Kansas City Chiefs center Rodney Hudson who signed as a free agent in 2015.

Joining Hudson along the interior are right tackle Menelik Watson, left tackle Donald Penn, right guard Gabe Jackson and left guard Kelechi Osemele. An inside source says the Raiders are so thrilled with their Ebony quintet, they have posters of the 1966 Texas Western basketball team and the Tuskegee Airmen hanging in their practice facility — groups that share a similar composition.

Anchored by the NFL’s most expensive offensive line [worth $37.7 million in cap dollars], the Raiders have allowed the fewest sacks in the league. A large part of that success begins with the aforementioned Hudson who’s also Carr’s best friend and practice confidant.

When they’re not busy going overformations, Carr and Hudson are usually bouncing ideas off of each other late at night in the team hotel. “We just go to another level in our discussions — stuff we don’t want everyone to hear because their brains might explode,”Carr explained with a laugh.

Hudson says there’s times when he’ll be out to dinner and he’ll see that his quarterback has been texting him videos of plays. No wonder Carr, widely considered the lead candidate for MVP honors, appears most comfortable late in games. The entire line has his back when it counts most.

“When the ball is in his hands late in the game, everybody believes something big is gonna happen,” says ESPN analyst Matt Hasselbeck. “I saw that with Brett Favre when I was his teammate.”

No belt motion, no dancing, no dabbing. He hugs his lineman and WR’s. The dude is what you want to see at the position. The sky is the liit for this kid, even more so if he take a team friendly contract.

Kid can play, the reason they are doing so well. Add a seasoned tough coach and this team has a chance at AFC championship game. Broncos don’t have a QB, and the Chiefs, we’ll they are the Chiefs. Just Win Baby!

Not a fan of Oakland, by any means, but I want to see Carr do exceptional… Considering how crappy his hand was dealt coming into the league. Older brother is definitely a bust, but that doesn’t mean that he was going to be one too…

The fat man and his staff out coached the Raiders once again.. period. Especially Mushgave… he got pawned again by the Chiefs.. And Del Rio’s decision not to go into the 2 min drill 8 points down with 7 mins to go was down right stupid. … and Carr called a time out on that drive too… unexceptable.﻿
